And don’t bring trouble on all men so,
Succor a poor man, without crushing.

Thanks Mr H!
ReplyDeleteSome Albert Camus is quite appropriate in these times of Rebel Content.
It was a mistake to pull plug on global broadcast last night. The show must go on. That is what the victims would have wanted. Stopping the show is what the T's wanted to do. Score ONE for the T's again.
This is the price of freedom. These T's are simply cowards and have nothing. Their desperation is quite evident that we're in the end game now. This is no time to fear.
Actually, there is nothing to fear. It's all an illusion.

Like Charlie said:
"Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!"
Liberté, égalité, fraternité, rouillé
solidarity,
